Show your faith

    Some teens are afraid to stand up for their faith. At my school there are plenty of "Christians" but they just go through the Christian motions. They dont reflect their Christianity in the way they talk or just the way they are in general.

   Now i know people say dont judge a book by is cover and you shouldn't do that. But God says in the bible that you CAN "judge" a person by seeing their fruit.

Matthew 7:15
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits. 

Matthew 7:18
A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.

Matthew 7:18 is talking about how a bad person cannot be good and a good person cannot be bad. It also connects to the verse Matthew 6:24 how you cant serve two masters. You pick one or the other. You love one and hate the other. You either love God and hate sin. Or hate God and love sin. You CANT serve both. If you speak perverted words or talking bad stuff just because, but say you are a christian and love God, you're serving both, which cannot be done. Whatever comes out your mouth, whatever you speak should be for the glory of God. When judgement day comes, God will judge you for every word you said, every word that came out of your mouth. So whatever you do, do it for God.

But i still come to the point where i DONT get why people today can't stand up for their faith. I mean its sad to see so many people claiming to be a christian but still go back to their sinful ways. Like you go to church on sunday and you'll act like your supposed to but when the weekdays come around, people cant even tell youre a christian. It's like a married couple. A husband visiting his wife on sunday and going through the motions a married couple do. But then when the weekdays come he forgets her and has nothing to do with her. People wouldnt even know he's married because he doesnt live that married life style. You see how that can connect to a christian's life? How some people only go to church because they have to not because they want to and when the weekdays come they go smoke, drink and do whatever they want & people wouldnt even recognize you as a christian. 

You cant just live the christian life on a sunday you guys. It has to be every day, every hour, every single minute of your life. You have to be totally committed. Because what good does it do for yourself to say you love God but act worldly? It doesnt do any good.
